Getting a new engine in my Zetec S

Hey guys,

I have a 57 plate Zetec S, 2 weeks ago the engine cooked on the motorway and when it went to the garage they found a manufacturers fault, so I'm getting a new engine.

Is there anything I should be worried about with this, or is having a new engine a completely good thing? Just wondering if any other fiesta owners had this problem?

Cheers

    Shouldnt have to worry.

    Depends what engine thay are refitting. It should be a brand new unit with 0 miles so will have to be run in and taken steady for a few miles.

    Apart from that i think it will be a good think as you will have a warantee with the new engine and all work carried out.

    Good luck mate and welcome to the club

    Thanks mate!!

    Yeah its a brand new one through the warranty agreement...so I am assuming it will be a 0 mile engine. Yeah i'll ease the new one in slowly...as much as I have missed my little car!!
